Assessment wanted for Silly story generator task3

MDN Learn
#1

Hello!

I’m stuck on the task no3, I’m confused about the part " Next we want to replace the three placeholders in the newStory string — :insertx: , :inserty: , and :insertz: — with the strings stored in xItem , yItem , and zItem ." I don’t understand who is these :insertx: , :inserty: , and :insertz:.
I don’t get it what I suppose to do.

PS: I guess I need to use string method replaceAll()

Am I right?

Hi @Cristian_Marinescu and welcome to the community :wave:

Yes, you are right. :insertx: and so on are just strings from the original story that need to be replaced. They also could have been named placeholder1, placeholder2 and placeholder3 or similar.

I hope that helps. :slightly_smiling_face:
